Re: Minnesota at Notre Dame 11/8 & 11/9

I'll be honest, I have no need for us to play Notre Dame. Jackson has touted a big strategy to focus on Minnesota. But overall the school has made its decision to look east...I see no need to give them a great relationship with our state as well. And in a rare side note, we won't even have our Saturday game televised because of the series.

Nicely done. Provincial Jack*** Post of the Month.

Should definitely be an interesting weekend of hockey. Both are highly skilled teams, and I'll be interested to see how Minnesota handles that on smaller (200x90 as I understand it) ice.

First time Lucia has ever brought a team to South Bend.

Agreed. Should be very interesting weekend and a good measure of the team. Despite the ranking the Gophers have, we have some flaws and would love to see a strong effort against a good team on a smaller sheet of ice.

Surprised that nobody has started to worry if Don Lucia will have a picture taken in a Notre Dame jersey.

TV coverage is less than ideal but we will muddle through somehow.

This game would have been so much better if Notre Dame was still ranked #2. Should be another good test for the Gophers since there's a lot of hockey that's played on the smaller sheet. I'm betting that there were more than a couple of practices at Ridder during the bye week. Size may trump speed this weekend.

Not a Minny fan, but hate the domers. I wish they'd go 0-infinity in every sport. Sweep 'em.

The Friday game is on NBC Sports Network and the Saturday game is streamed on NBC sports online from what it sounds like.

Didn't see a thread yet so here goes....

Minnesota is coming off of a tough weekend against Bye.

Notre Dame is coming off of a split against Vermont.

Thoughts? Predictions?
